    About this ebook

    Attempting something new is always challenging. Writing a few books in last two years has given me the confidence to write something for the readers. Some of the books are liked by the readers more and some are liked less. That is quite natural. I did try to write few poems in my mother tongue when I was in school and college. Some of them were also published by local magazines. But somehow, I was never comfortable in writing poetry.
    In this book there are six poems, based mostly on conservation of water, enviroinment and maintenance of cleanliness. One poem is based on fall out of not constructing of toilets within the premises. However, the first poem is based on duty of a lower level police officer who had to stay overnight beside an unkown dead body submerged in sea shore.
